Just want to let you know we are taking our time with these for a couple of reasons. Basically, anyone who is familiar with bubble bars has tried LUSH Cosmetics' bubble bars. While we believe the firmness and structure of the bars is good, we don't always feel the fragrances are strong enough and the bubbles are just don't seem impressive enough. We are designing our formula to exceed theirs which means they will not contain surfactants that are undesirable for those with sensitive skin issues. Lush bubble bars contain some ingredients that are basically unecessary and questionable. We aim to have our bubble bars be completely naturally derived ingredients, but this is quite a challenge, so please bare with us.Andrew Dyer Planet Yumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109421802938002011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557589124966299457.post-59810206290944963842011-04-29T09:55:00.002+10:002011-04-29T09:55:54.149+10:00New range of soaps for menWe have just added a whole load of new soaps for men under the <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/men-c-86.html">Men's</a> category.

Here's a pic of our freshly cut <a href="http://www.planetyum.com.au/outback-scrub-soap-p-156.html?cp=122_137">Outback Scrub</a>. Such a celebration of Australia with its Eucalyptus & Lemon Myrtle essential oils. The turquoise blue of our surrounding waters and the deep rainforest greens and outback ochres makes this an exceptionally beautiful soap.

</tbody></table> Get your Hawaiian shirts on and pop a hibiscus behind your ear - here is Planet Yum's wonderful Hibiscus Cocoa Butter Cream Soap freshly made yesterday. I'm tickled that it turned out looking a bit like a Hawaiian shirt! A wonderful Summertime blend of florals and fruits. The beautiful Hibiscus flower doesn't have a scent, apart from a few rare types, but on Planet Yum we imagined what the Hibiscus could smell like. We carefully blended fruity top notes of apple, black currant, lime, and bergamot, leading to a heady floral middle of jasmine and rose, with a warm, sexy drydown of white musk, amber, and sandalwood. Strong, true and loooong-lasting fragrance you love.Andrew Dyer Planet Yumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109421802938002011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557589124966299457.post-58796458867386264762010-11-27T19:03:00.000+11:002010-11-27T19:03:37.401+11:00Here's the Guardian Angel Soap cut<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This is basically what people have been saying about our Spiced Mahogany Cocoa Butter Cream Soap. We originally intended this as a man's soap, but so many women love it for themselves - but many also are loving the scent on their men. It is a mix of rare woods such as ebony, mahogany, apple wood, with some spicier notes of Italian bergamot, cedarwood and patchouli. It is a very grounding, earthy fragrance that truly centres you.</span>Andrew Dyer Planet Yumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109421802938002011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557589124966299457.post-89033424540826576652010-11-27T13:36:00.000+11:002010-11-27T13:36:34.699+11:00Our New Soap Formula - Even Creamier!<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just to let you all know we have enriched our cold processed soap base recipe with canola oil.

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now here's salvation for anyone who experiences painful, annoying conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. Flaxseed oil assists in reducing the redness and the pain associated with these skin conditions. Calendula is a flower extract which has been used successfully for centuries to heal problem skin. It's fragrance free apart from the pleasing herbal scent of flaxseed, and has no added colour. It's only colour comes from the yellow calendula infusion.</span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goat's milk, of course, contains specific vitamins and minerals that exfoliate and nurture troubled skin. Planet Yum goat's milk soaps, are great value for your money because like all our soaps, they are long-lasting and harder soap bars than most you'll find on the market - including Billy Goat soap. </span>Andrew Dyer Planet Yumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18109421802938002011noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557589124966299457.post-87674064570538397262010-11-26T15:40:00.000+11:002010-11-26T15:40:41.213+11:00Raspberries & Violets<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I did some interesting puring techniques, so I can't wait to see how it looks when cut - keep you posted. It's a beautiful fragrant blend of English Rose, Lily of the Valley & White Musk. It's a fragrance that stays strong with you long after bathing with it. Delicately dusted with light gold pearlescent mica and sprinkled lovingly with fairy dust - see it sparkle and shine.
